Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for holding in position a tightening of two elements.
  • the clamping system has a clamping axis, which passes through each of the two elements.
  • This position holding device is particularly applicable to a steering column of motor vehicle, this steering column being adjustable in height and / or depth in the plane vertical.
  • the height adjustment system in the vertical plane, or deep in the plane vertical requires maintaining the chosen position by the driver.
  • a teeth device metallic which are connected to each of the elements inserted, so that the mechanical teeth retract in contact with each other, so that they thus guarantee the maintenance of the position chosen.
  • it may produce a tooth-to-tooth presentation, which causes crunches then clicks of teeth blanks against each other. Such phenomena are detrimental to mechanical strength of the device, and give an impression of insecurity to the driver.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to provide a device for holding in position a system of clamping between two elements.
  • the device applies in particular to the clamping system of a adjusting a vehicle steering column automobile.
  • the object of the present invention is also to present a holding device in position which avoids the drawbacks described above, and which fits easily into the columns management, while ensuring the holding in position of the considered clamping system.
  • the device for maintaining position of a first element in relation to a second element has a structure, in which the first element and the second element are connected by a clamping system which crosses the first and second elements.
  • the position holding device has a rack which has a structure described below.
  • the metal rack base has two wings which are located respectively on the sides of said rack. Each of the two wings is arranged along the rack, the two wings being substantially perpendicular to the base so as to obtain a stirrup.
  • the distance between the two stirrup wings is greater than the width of the grip pad so that when the clamping system is blocked at its locked position, the stirrup wings come surround the grip pad and come to rest against the second element in order to obtain a stop positive of the clamping system.
  • the holding device In addition to facilitate the operations of adjustment in position of the holding device in position, it has a return spring specific to recall the unlocking system in the unlocked position tightening so that when the system is released the teeth of the rack come out of the grip pad.
  • the return spring is mounted on the clamping axis and disposed between the base of the stirrup and the grip pad.
  • the two wings of the stirrup come into contact on the corresponding face of the second element, to ensure a frank stop.
  • the distance between the two wings of the stirrup is very slightly greater than the width of the skate grip.
  • the device for holding in position a clamping system of two elements allows radial adjustment and / or axial while eliminating tooth problems on tooth, cracking, creep of existing plastic on current systems, as well as ensuring a positive tightening by the penetration of the teeth into soft plastic once the system is in position locked.
  • the position holding device relates to the maintenance in position of a first element 1 compared to a second element 2.
  • Element 1 and element 2 are connected by a system clamping 3.
  • This clamping system 3 has an axis of clamping 4, which crosses elements 1 and 2.
  • the position holding device comprises basically a grip pad 9 and a metal rack 7.
  • the grip pad 9 is made of relatively soft plastic. Skate 9 is attached to element 2, and is crossed by the clamping axis 4.
  • the rack metal 7 is provided with teeth 14.
  • the rack 7 is arranged on a base 11, which is mounted on the clamping axis 4.
  • the grip pad 9 and the metal rack 7 are arranged one by relation to each other so that when blocking in locked position of the clamping system 3, the teeth 14 of rack 7 come into the soft plastic of the grip pad 9, in order to guarantee that element 1 is kept in position by compared to element 2.
  • the base 11 of the metal rack 7 has two wings referenced 12 and 13. Each of these wings 12 and 13 is located at a respective side of rack 7, and each wing 12 and 13 is disposed along said rack 7.
  • the two wings 12 and 13 are substantially perpendicular to the base 11 so as to obtain a stirrup 8.
  • the distance between the two wings 12 and 13 of stirrup 8 is greater than the width of the shoe grip 9 so that, when locked in locked position of the clamping system 3, the wings 12 and 13 of the stirrup 8 surround the grip pad 9 and come to rest against element 2, in order to obtain a positive stop of the clamping system 3.
  • the distance between the two wings 12 and 13 of the stirrup 8 is also very slightly greater than the width of the grip pad 9, so that control and limit the deformation of said pad grip 9 when locked in locked position of the clamping system 3.
  • the holding in position according to the invention comprises a return spring 10.
  • This return spring 10 is arranged so that when the system is unlocked tightening 3, the teeth 14 of the rack 7 come out of the grip pad 9.
  • the spring of reminder 10 is mounted on the clamping axis 4 and is disposed between the base 11 of the stirrup 8 and the shoe 9.
  • the whole holding device in position according to the invention is shown in unlocked position in Figure 2, in position locked in Figure 3.
  • Figure 4 shows clearly the penetration of teeth 14 of the rack 7 in the grip pad 9.
  • the return spring 10 is dimensioned for be placed between the two paths 15 and 16 which are provided with the teeth 14 of the stirrup 8, and between the two contact faces 23 and 24 of the grip pad 9.
  • a grip pad 9 in soft and smooth plastic material reduces cost aspects and results in relief. he also allows to withstand important cycles lock-unlock system, and this throughout the life of the vehicle, without destroy the plastic adhesion pad 9.
  • the arrangement according to the invention thus guarantees always the good behavior of the steering column under force applied to the steering wheel by the driver.
  • the contact of the stirrup 8 on the corresponding face of element 2 passes a part of the effort necessary for the good performance of the steering column once the system is locked.
